Sumario: A Spanish version of the Type A Self-Racing Inventory by Blumenthal et al., which includes iterns in the form of adjectives, was answered by 1145 university students ofboth genders and whose mean age was 20 years. Resulrs give a panicular view concerning the stereotypes males and females have about thernselves. Among males adjectives such as honest, sure and energetic predominare. Among females predominare sensible and sociable but also enthusiascic and enterprising. in opposicion with thc tradicional role assigned ro women in a society such as the Peruvian. The suggested explanacion is that females keep sorne traditional feminine stereotypes but at the same time, take male roles.
